CD182, IL8R2, IL8RA, IL8RB, CMKAR2, CDw128b, C-X-C chemokine receptor type 2, CXC-R2, CXCR-2, GRO/MGSA receptor, High affinity interleukin-8 receptor B, IL-8R B, IL-8 receptor type 2, CXCR2
Receptor for interleukin-8 which is a powerful neutrophil chemotactic factor. Binding of IL-8 to the receptor causes activation of neutrophils. This response is mediated via a G-protein that activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. Binds to IL-8 with high affinity. Also binds with high affinity to CXCL3, GRO/MGSA and NAP-2.
